2	The sum of two consecutive odd integers is at most 20. Let e = the smaller integer. Which inequality matches this situation?	e + e ≤ 20 e + (e + 1) ≤ 20 e + (e + 1) ≥ 20 e + e ≥ 20 e + (e + 2) ≥ 20 e + (e + 2) ≤ 20
Solution Consecutive odd integers are 2 apart. When e is the smaller integer, the next odd integer is e + 2.

2	Let p be the number of pies on a tray. What does 2p - 4 represent?	4 less than twice the number of pies on a tray Twice the number of pies on another tray that has 4 fewer pies Twice the number of pies on another tray that has 4 more pies 4 less than 2 pies on a tray 4 more than twice the number of pies on a tray 4 more than 2 pies on a tray
Solution There are the meanings of the answer choices: 4 less than twice the number of pies on a tray 2p - 4 Twice the number of pies on another tray that has 4 fewer pies 2(p - 4) Twice the number of pies on another tray that has 4 more pies 2(p + 4) 4 less than 2 pies on a tray 2 - 4 4 more than twice the number of pies on a tray 2p + 4 4 more than 2 pies on a tray 2 + 4
